She turned fifteen with great expectations   Her older brother knew that somethin' was up   He caught her going through his record collection   Lookin' at Hendrix like a lovesick pup      She begged and she pleaded till Dad finally listened   He drove in the car down to Sears Roebuck   He bought her that guitar and that was the beginning   Now she's down in the cellar with the amp turned up      Girls with guitars   (Daddy's little angel)   Girls with guitars   (What's the world coming to)   Girls with guitars   (Mothers tend to worry about)   Girls with guitars      Well, Saturday nights she followed her brother   It was socks and stockings on the old gym floor   While everybody danced to garage band covers   She was checking out riffs and memorizing chords      She didn't care at all for the football heroes   She didn't even notice the basketball stars   Boys as a species were all a bunch of zeros   Except for the ones that played that guitar      Girls with guitars   (She wasn't any debutante)   Girls with guitars   (She didn't go out for cheer leading)   Girls with guitars   (Boys are kind of nervous 'round)   Girls with guitars      She went off to college, she got her degree   Her parents breathed a sigh of great relief   Daddy's thinking law school, mother's thinking medicine   Daughter's thinking how she gonna break the news to them      Now there's an old Chevy van just sitting in the driveway   Filled to the gills with all of her stuff   She cut a deal with her brother to drive it up the highway   She figures New York City is close enough      She gets the audition through a friend of a friend   Who's checking out her legs, saying this will never work   She flips on her boogie and turns to the band   Gives a little grin and blows away the jerk      Girls with guitars   (Now everybody's rockin')   Girls with guitars   (There ought to be a song about)   Girls with guitars   (There's just no stopping those)   Girls with guitars      Get your money for nothin' and your guys for free
